‘Dragon’s Blood’ and first snow

Yesterday, Saturday

OK, I see it now. After several years of growing Sedum spurium ‘Dragon’s Blood’, I have only seen a bit of the flowers, which are supposed to give this plant its name. I’ve seen other folk’s examples showing the flowers, so I know it’s possible…until then, this Fall, I can now see the dragon’s blood that I do have.  And I like it!
